Election of Sunday School Officers
By Editor
A WRITER in a prominent religious paper thus remarks on the election of the officers of Sunday schools: "I have been thinking lately about the yearly farce of the election of teachers and officers. Why is it any wiser to put the choice of Sunday school teachers into the hands of the children and young people than it would be to allow the boys and girls of our public schools and colleges to elect their instructors? Imagine the trustees of a university calling together the students in the chapel to elect the faculty!" And worse still if this election comes quarterly. It would not, however, be the case that teachers and officers were elected by the children if the adults of the church were as interested in Bible study as they should be. There is one church we know where nearly all the adult members belong to the Sabbath school, and this is the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
